The first step with any simultaneous equation is to cancel out one of the variables. Here, 2y is a factor of 4y (it fits into 4y twice) so we can multiply the 1st equation by 2 to give us 4x+4y = 20.This ...
x=2 y=-4
Step 1: Eliminate fractions => Multiply everything by 23x + 2 = 12x + 8 Step 2: Collect like-terms with all of the xs on one side => 9x = -6 Step 3: Divide through to find the answer in terms of x...
The way I would suggest approaching a question like this is to imagine n=1, n=2, n=3 and n=4 above the terms given, or even to literally write that above each of the 4 given numbers. n ---------- 1 2 3 4r...
(1/3)x=(1/2)x+(-4) (1/3)x=(1/2)x-4(1/3)x - (1/2x) = -4 (1/3)(x/1) - (1/2x)(x/1) = -4. => x/3 - x/2 = -4Find common denominator: here 62x/6 - 3x/6 = -4-x/6 = -4 -x = -24x = 24 Check:Answered by Iulia B. • Maths tutor2254 Views
